Welcome back to Amazin’ Avenue Audio, where we (sort of) take a break from the misery.

This week, Brian Salvatore and Chris McShane talk about Jacob deGrom and his agent playing hardball, why Brandon Nimmo was snubbed from the All-Star Game, and some childhood memories of the mid-summer classic. (1:09)

Next up, Allison McCague updates the Nimmometer and the deGrometer. (41:22)

Finally, Steve Sypa takes a look at the minor league players of the week. (46:47)
